Portrait assignment #1 for Roger Black at TYPE Magazine, Issue No. 1, Fall 2017.
Been working with Roger Black since 1977. First illustration assignment I ever did was twelve Mexican album covers for Promexa Mexicana as an assistant to Philip Harrison Hays. I was an illustration student at the Art Center College of Design. Roger was the Art Director. Very shortly afterwards, I moved to NYC and Roger gave me a New York Magazine Cover about new subways. I totally blew it, but Roger never stopped hiring me. So grateful to the great state of Texas, and the wonderful art directors who gave me a shot.
